"Way inconsistent. Still decent at its worst, but those lows are amplified by how high the best songs are. Congratulations works much better as an album." Reply

"Ridiculously enjoyable, so so good, his flows are ridiculous, the Fuck Me interlude was kinda cringe as well as blowjob sounds but this album is unbelievably consistent and brilliant. His lyrics feel so natural and real. Instrumentals are catchy and immersive too. Beats are classic. A pioneer of ..." [+] Reply

"F A N T A S T I C . flat out one of my favorite albums of all time. The production and songwriting is so good on this - they spend more than 1000 hours recording this pearl" Reply

"A staple hip-hop album. The unique yet still strong flows both Andre and Big Boi bring to the table compliment each other like no other. B.O.B. is one of the best hip-hop songs ever made. Flavored by the southern ATL, Outkast made hip-hop their own, THEY NEED TO COME BACK!" Reply

"Elvis shows here why he is one of the true founders of the mainstream Rock N’ Roll movement with this short but snappy album. Although a bouncy bop for the vast majority of the album, there are parts which show Elvis experimenting with his voices to differing levels of effectiveness. On the track..." [+] Reply

"My favorite Metallica album, love the structure of the songs and they don't seem to long to me. I would agree with others about the production. The bass is virtually absent here and who knows why. The lyrics are very interesting as there are songs about political corruption, discrimination, alien..." [+] Reply

"Average track rating: 84/100 Average album rating: 71/100 Seems about right for this site. I just hope one day the album average score does go up higher than it is now, but I know this site isn't very fond of pop punk. Either way, this dissonance is odd. EDIT: Perhaps I should discuss my feelings..." [+] Reply
